At the assembly stage, each component of the tire is attached in a predetermined order determined by the tire structure to make a material called a raw tire. The vulcanization stage is an operation to give the tire its final shape.Using a mold of an appropriate shape, apply a high molding pressure above the atmospheric pressure to the rubber of the raw tire to raise the temperature and make it necessary for the vulcanization reaction. Heat is given to the raw tire.

In the present invention, the time required to assemble the tire and then subject the tire to vulcanization conditions is short. About the vulcanization threshold
If the temperature is fixed at 130 ° C, it is considered that vulcanization does not start before the tire is introduced into the vulcanization station. At temperatures slightly lower than this, for example in the range of about 80 to 110 ° C, the support at the building station at the beginning of tire building (especially with a smooth core mold where the support determines the shape of the tire's internal cavity) (In some cases) it has the advantage that the adhesion of the first rubber layer overlaid is better.

In the present invention, the assembly and vulcanization cycles can be properly adjusted, so that a plurality of molds can be used at the same time. If the time required for vulcanization is longer than the time required for tire assembly, use a combination of a vulcanization station that can accommodate multiple molds at the same time and a single assembly station that assembles one tire. Is preferred. For example, if the time required for vulcanization is about three times the time required for assembly, the vulcanization station can receive three molds (taking into account the transfer time between each station for the entire cycle).
